About Me

I am a Georgian composer, performer, and sound artist based in Berlin, working across genres and disciplines. My artistic practice focuses on dramaturgy-based narrative and often takes shape through interactive installations, performance art, electroacoustic pieces, and instrumental works for acoustic ensembles.
My work combines conceptual thinking with sonic experimentation, and I enjoy exploring the space between music, performance, and concept.

As a teacher, I believe in a highly individualized approach. Every student has a unique musical voice, and my goal is to help them develop it with confidence, curiosity, and creative freedom.
In my composition lessons, I adapt my method to each student's background and artistic interests—whether they want to write classical pieces, experiment with sound, create multimedia work, or develop a personal style. Students are encouraged to explore, take risks, and grow at their own pace.

I offer combinations of:
Composition
Classical Piano
Music Theory / Ear Training
Sound Art & Experimental Music

Lessons can be fully tailored. For example, we can mix piano, theory, and composition within one session if it suits your learning path.

In sound art lessons, we focus on developing attentive listening, understanding the sonic environment, working conceptually, and learning practical techniques to create experimental or electroacoustic music using software tools (DAWs, recording, editing, processing).

My teaching style is supportive, flexible, and centered on helping students build both their technical skills and their artistic identity

I also offer Georgian and Russian conversation practice. Georgian is my native language, and I was raised in Moscow, so I speak Russian fluently. Whether you want to improve everyday speaking, pronunciation, grammar, or reading skills, I can guide you through a relaxed and supportive learning process. Lessons can be conversational, structured, or combined with cultural context depending on your goals.

I teach piano and keyboard skills with a friendly and encouraging approach. My students learn technical exercises and pieces/songs carefully chosen to suit each individual and I also incorporate relevant music theory. I teach on an upright acoustic piano at my place in Wedding and in some cases travel to the student for lessons.

The guitar is undoubtedly one of the most popular instruments of the modern age. It is so versatile and used in many genres ranging from classical music to Death Metal and even Electronic Music.

I will teach you the basics of playing the guitar, and I'll spice it up later with my experience in composition and songwriting. We will learn by example through the famous songs that shaped our understanding of the guitar. Whether you prefer singer-songwriter-style songs, or thrash metal we'll get there together.

I will teach mainly using the guitar tablature format, we can do sheet music which is generally unneeded for anything besides classical, but I will need to refresh my music sheet reading skills as I haven't had to read any in the last 10 years.

Piano is an incredible instrument to learn - it provides you with a broad understanding of music, develops listening skills, and great dexterity, increases concentration, and much more.
I specialize in jazz piano but teach all musical styles according to the student's needs and wishes. Throughout the lesson we will learn music and songs, technique, harmony, ear training, theory, and rhythm - all subjects of music can be addressed through the piano!

Hello there!

My name is Sara and I'm a classical pianist and piano teacher. I have been a pianist for about 15 years and started teaching it a while ago as well. I offer lessons in 3 different languages ( English, Arabic and German) for both beginner and intermediate levels.

I believe music should be enjoyed and comfortably played, allowing people to both connect with it and understand while challenging them to express themselves in new and different ways. Music lessons are fun and will be set to make the student confident and comfortable in their playing. If any student needs extra time or space to feel secure and safe, I will offer as much understanding and security as I can.
Trust is my number one motto, if for any reason a student feels pressured or uncomfortable they can come and talk to me directly and we shall figure out a way to make music learning fun and enjoyable for them.

I'd like to think of myself as someone who truly enjoys making a good change in the world and who tries to offer the best possible experience when getting to know the instrument and how to play it and I hope you find the trust in me to sign up for my class!

Thank you and have a lovely day

Sara

Let me teach you to write your own songs, learn any song by ear, create your own style or begin your journey into the world of music and playing the piano. My method is based on learning music from listening, perception and creativity. My classes are extremely practical and adaptable to the needs and interests of the student, from piano applied to songwriting or the understanding of musical language and harmony, to the preparation of different repertoires and the writing of your own songs.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Are you stuck? I can help!

In our composition lessons, we’ll both learn how to get more from basic elements, like pitch and rhythm, and also the things we can do to help make a composition more poetic. We can work on how to get more music from fewer ideas to create a consistent musical language, and also explore the idea of opposites in your compositions, blending and smearing contrasting elements to add depth and complexity to your work.

Through the analysis of great music, the composition of miniatures, and feedback on your current projects, you’ll both increase your technical fluency and simultaneously learn to love and develop your unique voice. This class is for any level of composer, whether you're a beginner or an experienced composer seeking to enhance your creative skills. Don't wait any longer :)

Music is a language. It has its own 'alphabet,' which is the foundation of any language, essential for communication. You can't read without knowing the alphabet. That's why building a solid foundation is so important to me. I'm very passionate about teaching piano and I love it. My piano lessons include music theory, ear training, finger exercises, and scales. We're happy to explore the music you enjoy and choose. By arrangement, I can also record children and introduce them to the world of electronic music.

I will be offering singing lessons across multiple genres, tailored to each student’s individual goals, experience level, and learning style and will also take an approach that allows students to really express themselves and their voice.

I believe great music tuition is about far more than technique; it is about building a student’s confidence, nurturing their curiosity, and making every lesson something they genuinely look forward to. In my singing lessons, I can adapt my approach to everyone’s goals and learning style, whether that means preparing a student for an examination, developing performance confidence, or simply helping a beginner fall in love with their instrument.
